You already got the answer. Here again the Marketmaker from IB FX:

Exchange: Bear Stearns Currency Dealing
Exchange: IB Currency Dealing
Exchange: Interactive Brokers Dealing System
Exchange: JPMorgan Chase Currency Dealing
Exchange: THI reuters
Exchange: UBS FX
 
Can anyone provide a list of all the crosses or exotics currencies available on IB. Their website only lists the majors.

Thanks.
 
Anyone notice a change in liquidity as of 0100 EST on Friday, June 10th?

There is either
1. New liquidity provider
2. Currency arb participant on IB
3. System problem

Most likely 1. or 2.

Interesting - odd lot/not round number sizing may provide some clues...

Bids/Offers in hundreds of millions of USD or Euros - Never driven EBS or Reuters FX systems, etc. What is the typical depth on those?
 
Yes, definitely some unusual bid/ask action happening. Huge size bid and asks on eur/jpy.

Quote from paradox:

Do you know why some currency pairs use the comma as a thousand seperator and some others don't?

I am on IB chat right now inquiring about the fat size, I mean close to a bill bid/offers? That is HUGE.

I think the fat bid/offers get no commas because they are so fat. 923,710,016 Euros bid/offer in EURJPY that is approximately $85,000 a pip!

The large size is from another liquidity provider that has just started quoting.

paradox - I was thinking that myself! It's just the Yen products that we're not showing commas. Not sure if this was overlooked, or whether there's a lack of space to fit a big figure with commas. Will check.

Now thinking about it, I believe that there was a technical glitch.

The new liquidity provider's bid/offers were being displayed in JPY whereas for EURJPY the notional is EUR and for USDJPY the notional is USD...

When converted back to EUR and USD from JPY, the size is commensurate with other liquidity providers on IB.
